In a narrow lane, only 7 m wide, between two old apartment buildings in busy “Parkveien” in Oslo, Kima Architecture AS found room for a mini-gallery and nine, wonderful luxury apartments of different sizes. Behind this quite untypical Norwegian project stands Infill As that specializes in the development of small and difficult land in dense urban structure.

A snowball throw away from my home lives Eirin and Nils in two bright rooms and a kitchen.The home is a great mix of old and new, Ikea and Eames, design and second hand. The icing on the cake is an impressive collection of art.

In the idyllic “Planetveien” on the west side of Oslo, lays Arne Korsmo fantastic home among pine trees and heather. This architectural pearl is from 1955 and was designed in collaboration with Christian Nordberg Schulz.

And my dream home in Planetveien 12 is now for sale! For “only” 7, 75 million NOK you can take ownership of the home of the father of Norwegian functionalisms and his wife, the artist Grete Prytz Kittelsen. Unfortunately, Arne Korsmo was not one of my friends, but I still want to show you his home.

In the middle of November, I left Copenhagen and moved home to Norway. Home to snow and skiing, friends and family. While I’m waiting for my dream apartment to pop up I´m renting a very nice and bright apartment between Grünerløkka and Sagene with a little balcony, wooden floors and a turquoise kitchen from the 60´s.

Here comes a little Christmas spirit report from “Sagene” in Oslo and a sneak-peak at my new home in Norway. I usually don´t decorate that much for Christmas and I don´t own the “big box of Christmas decorations”. But this year I’ve actually put my effort into it! More pictures from my new home (and others’ homes) are coming up in January. Meanwhile, have a wonderful Christmas!

In the heart of Telemark, in a small village with beautiful nature, high mountains and deep lakes, mum and dad live. 15 years ago they bought this modern home designed by the Finnish architect Anti Widenoia. My parents have replaced the floor and built a new entrance and kitchen, but, beside that, the house stands as it did when it was built in the 70s.
